Sun Mote Copse The Hunting of the Snark

Avery paused when Nellie shouted over her shoulder, but after a few seconds of hesitation, she continued forward a few more paces. She didn't get too near her bolder female counterpart and divided her attention between Nellie and Elfie, observing them like someone watching a tennis match -- back and forth. Elfie started digging first, while it took Nellie a bit longer to get to it, but they both eventually successfully unearthed some treasure.

Although she hadn't done any investigating herself, Avery was still excited to see that her friends completed the task -- and that the Snark wasn't all that scary after all, since it was just a bunch of leftover bones at this point. In her quiet, stuttering tones, she told Wraen how much fun she had had as the babysitter escorted her wards back to the rendezvous site.
